Unit 2-responding to a brief

This poster is aimed at people who have been verbally bullied. The main message of this poster is that there are ways to get help and you shouldn't do it on your own. In the poster you can see the person using a gun to kill themselves to get away from the bullying. We know he has been verbally bullied because of all the words coming out of his head. The poster has given the words a double meaning. They are all the words he had been called escaping his head and it's also the blood from the gun being fired.The message of the poster is to talk to people. Don't keep it to yourself.

These are the results from a questionnaire I created. The questionnaire was answered by students anonymously. From this research i can see that 50% of the people who had been bullied were male.

My initial ideas for a poster/posters showing the different types of bullying. If i only do one poster it will be split 3 ways to show verbal, cyber and physical bullying. My ideas for a moving image i will make a short clip showing a group of people bullying someone. The person being bullied will be male and he will be bullied by females challenging the stereotype that males are bullies. The boy will be bullied and called  names. He won't try to get help he'll just keep it to himself. He will try to kill himself but his mum/friends will stop him and help him with the bullies. For a website i would have a tab where you can get help if you are being bullied, a games page, information about bullying, how you can help people who are getting bullied and a section where you can talk to someone privately over the internet or you can phone up
